I’ve been to this place several times,,, and despite the poor infrastructure, I found it one of the most interesting places for me to visit in Qatar.
looking forward for more exciting topics
Hi,
Is there any way to get into contact with anyone in Abu Hamour or doing work in Abu Hamour for a school project? Thanks
People in Abu Hamour are very friendly so if you go to the camp somebody will definitely help. I have a few contacts who will definitely help, but I’m currently overseas and don’t have them so if you could email me at oladeyab2012@u.northwestern.edu then I’ll remember to get you the contacts.
Thanks!
yes off course ….i live in abu hamour…and i will really be thankful of you….
